Randy you make some good points and I know it was a tough bracket to seperate. I understand your thinking and at that point you were going by the criteria that was agreed upon and at that point it was probably the way to go. Even in quality programs like Paola and Columbus schedules can differ. It becomes even more complicated when teams from a different state come in as at the Bobcat. Who can really decide how tough a teams schedule is. Some teams wrestle tough schedules early and some late in the season. Some teams may wrestle tough teams from Oklahoma or Iowa and some teams may wrestle at the tuna invitational and the barely ready for varsity classic. There are alot of factors that can lead to a real good record or a not so good record. I just don't feel it is a good indicator of how talented a wrestler is. It is just my opion that head to head competition is always more important than a kids record. If you have no other commons I think you should go to head to head first, even if the win was from a previous year. This topic is a perfect example of why. Some coaches are counting wins against invisable opponents and Johnny Bye and others are not.
